Childrens Income

Postby limoges » Tue Jul 31, 2018 11:39 am

I am aware that if I purchase an investment for my two minor children then I am personally liable for any tax that may be due on income from the investments until they reach the age of 18

Over the past few years I have however regularly purchased Premium bonds for them and they occasionally receive a cheque for a win from the 1.4% prize money the government allocates to Premium bonds.

Do I have to declare these occasional winnings on my self-assessment?

Premium bond prizes are exempt from tax.
With a pinch of salt take what I say, but don't exceed your RDA
